Endocrine Disruption (Potential)

Animal studies suggest potential endocrine disrupting effects, particularly at high doses. The relevance to human health at typical exposure levels from use as a preservative is not fully established.

Endocrine disruption refers to the interference with the body's endocrine system, potentially leading to a variety of adverse health effects. Animal studies have demonstrated potential endocrine disrupting effects at high doses. This can affect hormonal balance, reproductive function, development, and metabolism. The relevance to human health at typical exposure levels, such as those encountered through the preservative's use, remains uncertain and requires further investigation. Potential effects could include altered hormone levels, reproductive issues, and developmental abnormalities. The exact nature and severity of these potential effects depend on various factors including the dose, duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility.
